Boo
Why did y’all change it
Do better
If you gonna roast us coz someone did better than us, at least let us respond. This app wouldn’t even let multiple files be uploaded at once.

Don’t use gizmo
This app was working then out of no where keeps asking for me to create a profile constantly not letting me go to my own decks only public decks that are useless to me. I have all my lectures on there and it’s all gone. I have an exam soon and I can’t even study, I tried on my computer, iPad and phone it doesn’t work. This app is horrible.
Greedy
This company because greedy like Quizlet :(
I used to love them, not anymore

Doesn’t even work
Keeps telling me to sign in over and over and over again and doesn’t even let me study.
Fraud
I paid for the unlimited version, I really like this app but it’s fraudulent, I pay money and it can’t even make me a deck??? Extremely frustrating to pay money for something and not get what you paid for. 1 star from me!
Scam
I was enjoying this app up until it asked me to create an account which I did! I also went on to make a yearly subscription. After that it went downhill. I got logged out and proceeded to login using my phone number and it would not let me in and stayed on the loading screen. I tried multiple times on my phone and computer to access my account. I than created a new account using email thinking my apple subscription would carry over to that account since it’s still me - and NOPE - it’s asking me to pay another $70 or so dollars. I’m disappointed cause I only got to use this app for a night and feel it took my money and kicked me out. Don’t waste your money on this. :(
Tip - look for apps that do not have Gizmo’s flawed log in system
Initially enjoyed app. But soon the login system flaws surfaced. Duplicate accounts are created without warning. , you were silently logged into a new account and login screen is not apparent to you. You find yourself trapped in a wrong profile. And stuck in their broken account handling system. Check out AI reviews regarding Gizmo’s flawed log in system . You will wish you never heard of “ Joy” their AI support … not resolved despite many days .
bring back old gizmo
when I review my questions it just gives you the answers during the active recall quizzes, old gizmo used to give you choices and options to choose the best answer and now it just gives it to you with the option good or not good. I don’t like this at all don’t get the point of it!
literally every answer is wrong.
This app is HORRIBLE. I answered a question correctly, and yet it still said that my answer was wrong. This app is dog water, don’t use it for studying if you want good test scores.
Bad
Not helping me understand
Asks for too much
Why can’t I just used premade flash cars from class mates. app forces me to make a profile, tell it my school, log in or make an account. What if I don’t wanna tell you my information. Got really annoying when I tried to just exit the app and try again; it was trying to make me make an account
Glitchy lately :(((((
I usually love love gizmo, but last since last Friday I’ve been uploading a 100 page pdf and no matter how many time I uploaded it, gizmo would only procure about 75cards. How is that possible???? Usually I would get about 600 for that. I really do not like the new updates. Please bring the old gizmo back.
B
Not good they logged me out of my account cuz I was not active for some reason
Greedy
Greedy company they make subscriptions for us to learn. Should be free
Improvement
The app is really good except it’s primarily feature the ai isn’t the best. It doesn’t write good notes, lessons and it’s buggy when you ask questions just to cut itself off and not finish its thoughts all the way.
I still like the app but it definitely needs some updates or improvements to be a heck of a lot better
